The characters of The Wife of Martin Guerre can be relevant to the modern reader of the 21st century because they are, actually, quite universal: they have weaknesses, limitations, and "demons to conquer". They also break the rules, make mistakes, and do not follow a set standard of behavior as it would be expected. This being said, any reader, at any time in history, could appreciate the characters of The Wife of Martin Guerre. Take Martin,...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-can-characters-wife-martin-guerre-by-janet-336372Mon, 7 May 2012 23:23:41 PSTThe values and attitudes of the society of The Wife of Martin Guerre can...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-can-values-attitudes-society-wife-martin-336374
The values and attitudes of the society of The Wife of Martin Guerre can certainly be relevant to the 21st century reader, when we consider what life would be like if we did not have any of those values today. After all, most of the values of loyalty, family unity, and commitment are quite misused and somewhat abused by the Guerres in the novel. However, we can certainly appreciate the attitudes and the values of their time, because they are...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-can-values-attitudes-society-wife-martin-336374Mon, 7 May 2012 22:48:05 PSTHow can the values and attitudes of the society of The Wife of Martin...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-can-values-attitudes-society-wife-martin-336374

The Wife of Martin Guerre is rich with themes and topics worthy of analysis. This is because the novel achieves the task of using multiple perspectives under which specific social issues are brought up. Yet, there is one theme that conquers all others: loyalty. The theme of loyalty is so multidimensional that it spreads out into several sub-themes that include family roles, feudal feuds, love, marriage as business, Catholicism, betrayal,...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-themes-wife-martin-guerre-by-janet-lewis-336195Sun, 6 May 2012 19:31:20 PSTThe Wife of Martin Guerre is set in Renaissance France, particularly in...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-cultural-issues-brought-out-explored-wife-336196

Martin and Bertrande had been promised to each other,as children often were in that time, as a surety for the family's economic progress....http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-cultural-issues-brought-out-explored-wife-336196Sun, 6 May 2012 15:47:23 PSTHow can The Wife of Martin Guerre and its characters be relevant to the...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-can-wife-martin-guerre-its-characters-relevant-336197
